Why Bother To Vote When Corporations Control Our Politicians?

  • Saturday, May 28, 2022

I got only one like regarding my previous article about outfitting children to become gun owners and part of an armed militia, the 2nd Amendment credo. But why do we need Marjorie Tayor Greene, or Lauren Boebert, Gosar, Ted Cruz and other flamethrowers dictating policy to the voters?

I would urge anyone to check election contributions to the campaigns of those mentioned above. Cruz got several million from the NRA. Why bother to vote when an outside agency can control the politician?   

We should all take our personal inventories of what we will tolerate for government officials and what we will not. Is it fair to all of us knowing that our politicians are not beholden to their constituents but to corporations?   

If the average voter only knew the insides of politics we might have a better and more honest representative government.
